I still need to mitre the edge so it'll fit nicely, but so far I think it's turned out great. Took me about 2 hours to dremel the whole thing.

I burned this ISO under Windows and ImgBurn and it works like a charm... Snow Leopard makes unreadable CDs with this ISO. I tested it with the same CD-Rs.
If you have a dock with a SCSI port, and a PowerBook "SCSI disk adaptor", and a USB-to-SCSI adaptor, then yes.

Heck yeah, why not? Have a good look at some of the iMac and ATX-cased Mac hacks around the web.
Do you have the original eMac power supply? That will save a lot of hassle.
There is one particular midi/audio sequencer that Emagic and Roland developed to edit the Roland VS series of hard disk recorder. / The Emagic programme Logic could be used to cont…
In that case, the only other variable is the fact that the G3/500 is a copper one, though I don't remember if that introduced any performance enhancements, per se.
Based on what I…
I have a duo 210 that won't boot, and I seem to have lost the floppy drive for it. I want to get access to it so I can fix my finder and system files (played around with them in re…

Great week in conquests for yours truly:
- two Newton: a MP 120 and a MP 2000 upgraded to 2100. Both work perfectly! The 120 lacks its stylus and is in German. I live in Switzerla…

Yeah, that was my thought at first, but there aren't any caps right near where the apparent leakage is. And the closest one looks just fine.
Also, I would have thought that leaky…

I went ahead and downloaded the XLR8 firmware block remover. I assume it also works for non-XLR8 G4's.
The G3/500 is a Buffalo (Melco) HG3-G3500 with 1mb cache running at 250mhz…

Most of the "legit" Apple G3 modules have 1MB of L2 cache, which depending on the configuration of the /350 or /400 G4 chip, may actually cause the G3 to blow the G4 away in those …
I have an older MIDI enabled keyboard + I was thinking of getting a newer 1 or 2 octave controller. Most of those are USB but I think there are a couple that have raw MIDI as well.

I'd say it could be the caps, they seem to be reaching EOL on a lot of machines of this era (I have 2 LCII boards and 1 LC475 board, all from 1993 vintage machines that need recapp…

Looking for some advice...
I have a B&W G3. It originally a 400mhz system, but a few weeks ago, I upgraded it to a G3/500 with a cheap ZIF from IC-China. It is currently r…
